Well your reply still doesn't explain the administrative (not technical) reason why you had to spend some 36 hours uninterrupted hunting for this bug. Particularly since it was 'a demo' and what broke was 'PDF export', while other exports still worked. Hardly the end of the world if you ask me. Technically though, I have hardly met this dependency update problem with C++ simply because dependencies are rarely if ever updated. Android on the other hand was a nightmare. I had colleagues quitting in a rage and swearing to never again touch Android in their life. Probably half the effort was spent fixing crap that was broken by updated dependencies. Luckily I'm back to C++ now and hope never again will I have to touch such a crazy system. The whole 'update for the sake of update' seems to be a grave problem of the Android / Kotlin / Javascript universe. The mentality is like 'bread won't be sliced anymore, eggs won't hatch, sun won't rise if we don't absolutely have the latest bleeding edge alpha version of all libraries'.
